New How2 - front wheel bearing

Admins, please move to the appropriate area... thank you.

I took the easy option, and opted for a proper 1m long breaker bar, and a 395NM torque wrench. Using these tools, undoing and tightening the wheel bearing nut was no problem at all in spite of the high torque. This is not cheap however for a one-off job...

I will happily move, only is it possible first to rejig the pictures so they are one under other.  Makes it easier to view on (our target) 1024x768 screens, and easier to print out

Done.

Still small amount of horizontal scrolling at 1024, but not too bad.

For future piccies, can you do piccies at 640 width, no wider please :y
